HAND-TOOL FOR ORNAMENTING CONFEGTIONERY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patenteddune 23, 1914.

Application filed December 10, 1913. Serial No. 805,759,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK I-I. SoHAUB, acitizen of the United States, residing at Madison, in the county of Dane and State of IVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hand-Tools for Ornamenting Confectionery, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hand tools for ornamenting confectionery and the objects of my invention are, first, to provide a handy and convenient receptacle that can be filled at the top with a syrup or icing and discharged at the bottom in a line of even width; second, to have the discharge aperture adjustable by means of a screw and retaining elastic bridge; and, third, to have the device so arranged that it can be readily taken apart and cleaned.

I attain these objects by the arrangement of parts shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1, is a plan of my device; Fig. 2, a front elevation; Fig. 3, a vertical section of the tool on line A B, Fig. 2, excepting the screw 8; and Fig. 4, is a view of the tool from the bottom with the bridge 7, broken off.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The body 1, comprises parallel sides and wings 2, a front and back attached to the sides and converging toward the bottom. The back and sides are equal in length, and the front terminates a distance below the top of the wings, forming a seat for the adjustable gate 3. To the front wall of the body 1, is soldered the upper end of bridge 7, and a distance downward from said connection is soldered the plate 6, which extends across the front of the body forming a bearing for the end of the adjusting screw 8. The bridge, 7, is made of any suitable elastic and resilient metal, the upper end being T shaped and arched sufliciently to form a spring which passing downwardly engages the clip 5, attached to the gate 3, thereby causing the said gate to open and close simultaneously with the movements of the lower end of the bridge 7 The adjusting screw 8, passes through the approximate longitudinal center of the bridge and is threaded to the same, the inner end of said screw resting on plate 6. The gate 3, is a flat plate hingedly disposed between the wings 2, extending downward from the hinge pin 4, to the bottom of the back and sides. On gate 3, and adjacent the lower end thereof, is disposed a clip 5, which connects said gate 3, to the bridge 7, in operative relation.

In practice, the receptacle portion or body of my device is filled with the syrup or icing and the opening in the bottom is adjusted to the desired width by means of the adjusting screw 8, and its cooperating parts. It is obvious that the icing or syrup will thus be deposited upon the confection in the form of bars which may be arranged single or in series of parallel, oblique or other designs limited only by the skill of the user.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is A. device of the kind described consisting of a tapering hollow body, a hinged gate at the bottom thereof, a spring bridge secured to the body, a clip connecting the bridge to the gate, a plate soldered to the body, a thumb screw threaded to the bridge and resting upon the plate as described and set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
